[PATCH net] net: usb: cx82310_eth: bound partial-frame remainder by current skb length

From: Jason Winter <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-14 19:01:40
Also in: linux-usb
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, usb networking drivers · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

When a frame straddles two bulk URBs, cx82310_rx_fixup() stores the
number of bytes still expected in dev->partial_rem and on the next call
memcpy()s that many bytes from the new skb without checking that the new
URB actually delivered that much data. A malicious device can declare a
large frame in one URB and follow it with a short URB, causing the
memcpy to read past the valid skb data into uncleared bytes in the
receive buffer and forward the result up the network stack.

Drop the partial frame and reset the carry-over state if the current skb
is shorter than the recorded remainder.

Fixes: cc28a20e77b2 ("introduce cx82310_eth: Conexant CX82310-based ADSL router USB ethernet driver")
